  I think that luggage is the key differentiator. If you can manage with just carry-on, Jetstar is fine (for me at least). But if you need checked baggage, the price difference is probably not big enough to choose Jetstar over JAL.

  Does Jetstar come with food and entertainment?

    Not included, no. You have to pay extra for both.

    Costs extra. If you need it, may as well go with JAL

      I did Japan on Jetstar in 09 (shit, was nearly a decade ago!), and thought I wouldn’t need food. 8-9 hours with only Pringle’s and musile bars in my carry on was harder than I thought.

    What I've done on many Jetstar flights to Japan - take the time to sleep, & take on some food. That way you'll be rested on arrival & eager for the wonderful local food.

    But last few flights I've received free entertainment & last flight - also meals (dinner, breakfast, coffees).

    I never book seats (easy as a sole traveller) - taking what is available. It's always worked out well on all airlines, with great seats & interesting company or spare seats.
    So guess the person who had cancelled that seat… had booked my food & entertainment😀

      It's there a website to do this, or do you just wait at the airport haha

        It seems to be known by frugal travellers. As upgrades go - it's about the lowest possible. It's just luck what you get when you turn up😀

        On a very packed discount flight in Asia, about 6 of us arriving without an allocated seat, were given long leg room seats or a row to ourselves. Couples were given seats together. We all knew this trick. Other travellers were offered better seats on that flight if they paid extra on board.
        On a Scoot flight to Singapore, I was seated between a couple of local foodies - a man from Singapore & a woman from Malacca (my next destination). They taught me so much local knowledge!

  Just in time for year 1 of Reiwa (beautiful harmony) era.

  The new Emperor Naruhito ascended to the throne of Japan today 🇯🇵

  Japanese date system can be confusing for Foreigners, but mainly used on official documents.

  Never any cheap flights to Japan during September! Is there a reason for this I'm not privy to?

  It doesn’t seem working, can someone confirm these specials are still available?

  • 

    Associatedbeatthatflight @ Beat That Flight on 02/05/2019 - 07:31

    Only a few at each date, I suspect, from jetstar, so as they sell out, some dates will stop working. Have to play around and try and find dates that still have them. The ones I did find took me a while, but it's worth it if you get one!

  Anyone know how to find flights to japan from Adelaide?

  So annoying to find these deals. OP didn’t post any for Adelaide either.

    Associatedbeatthatflight @ Beat That Flight on 02/05/2019 - 07:31

    Yeah, I was trying, but kept coming up around high 400s/mid-500s with connections, and decided to focus on the other cities, sorry. Some of the same dates work with ADL, if you want to try. It was a lot of try/fail/try again to get the dates that I did, but if you find one that works for you, it's a bargain!

  Can't get the 07 Oct - 17th Oct from Sydney to work. Comes up at $743. Nothing else much cheaper in October from Sydney.

    Associatedbeatthatflight @ Beat That Flight on 02/05/2019 - 07:30

    They do sell out (only a few seats at each date). have to play around and try and find one that works. Ones that I posted earlier may no longer have any left.
